Ugh, another Polanco blunder in the field. Start of the twins lineup  comin up though...

I'm not sure that's all on Polanco. It landed closer to Correa. I think Correa gave up on it when he saw Polanco moving. Someone needs to call it. Just poor communication.

[Mill1634]

Gotta send Buxton, me thinks

Duran for the 7th?

And 8th.

And 9th.

And every game.

Be more specific.  Which team?

Twins up to bat?

[Mill1634]

Correa got a pretty good pitch to hit with Buxton on the move. 

 

Encouraged to see that we finally put Buxton into motion.

[Mander]

Duran Duran time!!

 

[Montdak]

Sad all the good undone by dumb.  Ever since Urshela not retouch base it’s been south.  Then Correa of all people.  And why so snake bit by any ex Twins at bat no matter how bad their previous season no matter what team? Think Schoop Detroit and now Hicks.

Very bold prediction!

[USAFChief]

So I guess the plan is Duran for 2, Pagan for 1?

I was slow in adding, "the baseball gods answer prayers capriciously. "

[Aggies7]

Sigh

[Mill1634]

Not where you want to leave an offspeed pitch to a top 5 hitter on this planet. 

[USAFChief]

Judge is pretty good.

[Vanimal46]

Whelp. We knew we needed at least 1 run. Now we need 2 to win. 

[Aggies7]

Someone find out the win expectancy when you hit three home runs to start a game. 

[cHawk]

So 5 unanswered runs. Great.

[Mill1634]

Sigh. God dammit. We cannot have nice things. 

[USAFChief]

Sigh

Or maybe Duran to take the loss, then Duffey to eat the remaining innings?

[Mander]

Twins bullpen is awful. SEND HELP!!!

[USAFChief]

Gag

[LVTwinsfan]

The Twins jumped all over Cole for 7 and he’s off the hook, they just don’t have the pitching they’ll need to be successful. 

[Vanimal46]

Casual reminder that Duran is just a rookie himself. Even though we as fans put the entire burden of the bullpen on his shoulders.

Duran has been one of the leagues best relievers. There’s likely no one available better than him.

[Aggies7]

And of course duran doesn’t have it tonight.

[notoriousgod71]

I remember how triumphant Dick sounded in the second inning.

[LewFordLives]

Now THAT was all Polanco's fault!

[cHawk]

****ing really, Polanco?

Or, tonight, the defense. Absolute Bad News Bears.
